Abstract
This was a random clinical trial aim to compromise between the therapeutic effect of topical honey applied on patients had oral mucositis as an adverse effect of cancer therapy and the uses of traditional treatment in management of oral mucositis. The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:
Group 1 (n=20): which included: (male=14, female=6), (ALL=13, Neuroblastoma=2, Hodgkin lymphoma =2, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma=3), mean age=8.20 +4.0).
Group 2 (n=20): (male =13, female =7), (ALL= 11, Neuroblastoma =3, Hodgkin lymphoma=2, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma=4), (mean age=7.1±3.7).
Group 3 (n=20): (male= 11, female=9), (ALL=8, AML=2, Hodgkin lymphoma=1, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma= 8, Neuroblastoma=1, mean age=6.90). This group served as a control group and followed the traditional treatment of oral mucositis.
The first group received pure honey, patients rinsed it in oral mucosa than swallowed it 3 times per day.
The second group received honey mixture (honey, olive oil, proplis), patients were applied it on oral mucosa.
The third group received the traditional treatment.
This study found that recovery time was better in honey group followed by the hope group then the traditional group.
